Cosmic Cliffs
for piano and interactive media
Cosmic Cliffs finds inspiration in and uses imagery from NASA’s James Webb Telescope (public domain footage). Through the software Max’s MSP and Jitter capabilities, both the audio and video interact with the performer during the performance, and the performer has opportunities to “play” with the media components with the help of gyrOSC (accessible as a smartphone app).
Hold Close and Let Go
for piano and electronics
This piece was inspired by the poem “In Blackwater Woods” by Mary Oliver. We each process grief differently, with no singular, clear path to healing. We must navigate holding tight the memories we cherish while also letting go of their presence in the physical realm.
Meteor Shuttle
Meteor Shuttle is a dynamic piano composition that takes the listener on a high-energy journey through the bustling streets of New York City. Inspired by the composer's experience navigating the busy city, the piece incorporates elements of electronic dance music to create a unique and modern sound. The piece captures the essence of this experience, offering listeners a glimpse into the excitement and chaos of city living.
Fields of Repression
FIELDS OF REPRESSION, for prepared piano and found sound
Released on September 2nd, 2022
graphic score by Gloria Damijian, performed by Ting Luo & Gloria Damijian
The piece will encourage the players to confront themselves with feelings of discomfort and transform them into a creative process. I mainly focussed on terms and questions almost everyone deals with from time to time – or even constantly – during the artistic practice: why * no * anxiety * how * fatigue * self-doubt * failure * pressure

Around
"Mix and blur the sounds that have surrounded me: distant construction, simple household sounds, and even the nearby sounds of nature in an urban environment with virtuosic piano technique. "
''External and internal spaces began to blend, allowing the mind to sink into the place where dreams, memories, and fragments of our previous selves were waiting to be unearthed and brought into the light.''
